The Wizard Ratings & Reviews

  • Daniel GustavssonOctober 12, 2024
    While this movie seems universally reviled, I actually do find it sweet. It hooked me, and I liked the Mario 3 footage.
  • theLillyPadApril 23, 2025
    Is it a glorified commercial? Yes. But its a fun commercial. Brimming with Nostalgia for a better age. But you didn't come for that, did you? You came for Mario 3. And you'll get it.
